The live-action/animation hybrid had reportedly tested very well, and its cancellation has infuriated filmmakers.
Dave Green, director of Coyote vs. Acme, took to social media last night to share his feelings after Warner Bros. announced they would shelve the movie for a tax credit. Like Batgirl before it, Coyote vs. Acme was intended for a release on Max, and Warner Bros. decided that the $30 million they could get from the government for writing it down was more valuable than the movie itself was.
"For three years, I was lucky enough to make a movie about Wile E. Coyote, the most persistent, passionate, and resilient character of all time," Green wrote."I was surrounded by a brilliant team, who poured their souls into this project for years. We were all determined to honor the legacies of these historic characters and actually get them right. Along the ride, we were embraced by test audiences who rewarded us with fantastic scores.
